Farmed animal welfare: LAWS hold event in Parliament

Today, LAWS held an event in Parliament on farmed animal welfare. Many Labour MPs dropped in to show their support for strengthening farm animal welfare and helping British farmers.

We have identified four achievable policy solutions for the Labour government to strengthen farm animal welfare and support British farmers:

  1. Introduce mandatory animal welfare labelling
  2. Phase-out low welfare imports
  3. Transition to world leading cage-free systems
  4. Create regulations on slaughter for farmed aquatic animals

The measures would boost profits for British farmers, support the growth agenda, and improve consumer information, whilst improving the lives of millions of animals.
